I actually talked to the guy that bought out FINIMINI yesterday. He is about to start production on the sport link again and also the tow link. I have one that I have put on my Solo car and hopefully soon to be on the race car also. That way I can haul tires. I make sure to let everyone know when the parts are avail. again. Or if you want to send me an email and I'll start a list so we can ship as soon as I have them.

MINI fini was recently aquired. The website that had gone dead is not back up with new contact information. You may want to contact them directly about when the Tow link will be available again.

Ouch! I guess that's not the best way to restart a company that already had a somewhat tarnished record the last go round.

I got the following email today (am on their mailing list). Please note that the trailer hitches are shipping NEXT WEEK. I will certainly get one but really want the ski rack....

MINI-FINI is back!

----------------

As you may have previously heard MINI-FINI did cease operations in July of 2005. In December of 2005 Allfab, Inc., a privately held Columbus, Ohio based contract manufacturer, acquired the assets of MINI-FINI LLC. All patents, trademarks, intellectual property, tooling and equipment now are in the possession of Allfab, Inc. MINI-FINI has restarted operations as a subsidiary of Allfab and we are working diligently to bring the products you seek back to the market place. So far we have received very strong interest in all of the products previously offered: the Sport-LinkTM, the Bike Rack, the Ski-Rack, the Tow-LinkTM and the Cup-LinkTM. As of this writing, we have the Cup-LinkTM, the Bike Rack and the Tow-LinkTM available for sale on the MINI-FINI web site - <http://www.minifini.com> minifini.com. Our plan is to direct market these products as well as re-establishing relationships with some of the vendors that previously carried the MINI-FINI product group. We have been intentionally low-key about announcing our return since we wanted to have products built and ready to sell before taking orders. We have been amazed at the feedback and interest we have gotten. We have actually shipped a few products out that we received in the acquisition just because folks wanted them so badly! We love it! It is energizing us to work all the more to get our products out there.

A word from our President:

As a fellow MINI owner and enthusiast myself I am excited that this opportunity has come about. The whole team at MINI-FINI is dedicated to producing the best quality, best designed solutions to the needs of all MINI owners.

So hang on and let's get motoring!

Russell Roth
President, MINI-FINI

We at MINI-FINI are enjoying the interaction we are having with the MINI Cooper community and looking forward to building great relationships with customers, suppliers and vendors as we go forward. We welcome and look forward to your feedback and suggestions to help us build the products that meet your needs. Encourage your friends and fellow MINI owners to visit us at minifini.com and to join our mailing list.

ps
One special note since interest has been so high. The Tow-LinkTM tow bars will begin to ship the week of 4/3/06!

Sincerely,

John W. Bonnett
Vice President

Might want to try and call them directly and explain the situation and see if they can expedite you a Tow Link in time for your trip! Sounds like an opportunity for the company to build some goodwill right out of the gate. Heck let em' know you'll tell the NAM folks your positive experience with the NEW and improved MINIFINI.

Good luck!
